This page provides information on how to use the app effectively to help stop the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).

Note: If you’re using app version 5.0 or later, you can enter any positive lateral flow or positive PCR test result for contact tracing, whether it’s from an NHS or paid-for test. If you choose to share your result, the app will anonymously notify other app users who were near you that they might be at risk. This helps prevent the spread of COVID-19.
